I left my tennis shoes outside the front door a few days ago. I kinda forgot about them. This morning, when I went to put them on, I couldn't help but notice the er, gift, that he left me.

I guess I'm glad to have one less mouse in the yard.

46. Dear alwynsw, Who needs keys when you have 156 rounds?
and ugly plates make for better target practice. But if you must have a prettier target, there is always Whelan's Whale:



of course this means adding a harpoon to your weapons collection but you never know when a harpoon might come in handy in the event that a well organized militia is needed for your protection.

63. they have so much power and their reach is so vast
we seem to have so much energy ... but in many ways, it seems we are like the molecules in boiling water ... heated up, moving very rapidly, but seemingly without any coherent direction or plan ...

the path is still much too dark ... even the goal is not clear ... and no one with a loud, clear voice seems to speak for us ... there is nothing that calls us towards unity ...

i have been poking here and poking there looking for a way to break through ...

what can be done ???

64. Dear welshTerrier2
Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece of the rock.

Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and _when_.

Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
and despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Remember The Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself. If you need help, call the FBI.

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you -
That lemon on your left, for instance.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.

Fall not in love therefore. It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds,
Clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.

Hire people with hooks.
For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Candy.

Take heart in the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.

Give up

this was originally released on a National Lampoon album but i have this age-deficient recollection (CRS) that it was narrated by Lorne Green, aka Ben Cartwright of Bonanza fame ...

is that correct ??

btw, i hadn't seen or heard this thing in over 30 years ... i'm confident the advice you provided will solve all my problems ... i've already finished rotating one tire ...

65. Dear NSMA
I just lost my job and the bills are piling up. My whole family has disowned me because of my leprosy and my hair has all fallen out. I lost both legs in a foosball accident (don't ask) and to add insult to injury it happened a week after I just spent the rest of my savings on some really cool Nike high-tops.
A little over two weeks ago my house burned to the ground and everything, except my foosball game perished in the flames. I am now living in a refrigerator box under the I-77 bridge and the weather has been below freezing every night. My glaucoma is acting up and I lost three fingers from the frostbite.
My question is.. Should I get a Mac or a PC?

it'd also help if they lived someplace with decent transportation and no snow, which narrows it down still further :(

71. Dear KamaAina,
The oil companies have made sure that all places where there is no snow have no decent transportation, so that renders the fact that there are no straight women like me moot. :(

I have a student who is displaying increasing oppositional behavior. She's already been evaluated for behavioral/emotional disorder and found to not be eligible under that classification (an assessment with which I agree), but none of the behavior management techniques I've tried so far have worked. Help!

my straight son is really interested in the gay agenda free toaster offer. he thinks free toasters are really cool, and is convinced that he could earn a few. what is your advice?

(possible helpful note: son is "called" or "labelled" or "deemed" gay because when he is called gay - apparently the way kids attempt to insult each other these days - he fails to see the "insult".)

My ex is a total ratfuck bastard. When I attempted to re-establish contact with him, to try to salvage some sort of friendship from the wreckage of our relationship, he agreed to meet with me. In order, only, to make amends to those people he has hurt. Of which I am one. I don't want that. I want his friendship, not his guilt.

Am I wrong in this? Should I accept what he offers or hold out for something more substantive - even if that means I'll get nothing in the end?

125. Dear NSMA, I live in Japan but that is not the problem...
What is the problem is that I have purchased a new cell phone that I thought was an upgraded version of my old Sharp SH53. My old phone could record music from a stereo or 'puter with an optional optical data cable and adapter.

Since I already have said cable and adapter, I thought I could use them with the new phone. It is being touted as a music-capable phone and the version number is 802SH.

The new 802 SH cost about 100 bucks. Now, the probem is that I have found out that the player can only load "secure MP3's" via an optional SD memory card reader and s/w that I do not need. I already have an SD drive in the 'puter so what is the point of shelling out 30 bucks for another (USB) one? I cannot return the phone as that is the policy at Vodafone.

Many other users are unhappy with this situation...I wish I had known!

128. Japanese are not very litigious
It is tough to get companies to comply when they are in the wrong in cases of deceptive or manipulative marketing. They usually have to be publicly shamed by consumers before they will react.

In this country, the customer is not always right and that was tough to learn (been here dog's years).
